Design, planning and build for Egloshayle building regulations package
Building regulation drawings in Cornwall, drawn properly. Approved planning gets you permission to build — a complete building regs package is what gets you a building you can actually live in: 1:50 plans, 1:10 details, structural coordination and a specification a Cornish builder can price and build from without guesswork. A PL27 site visit comes before a Egloshayle sketch, every time — Egloshayle is a creekside settlement in the PL27 area, with waterside homes, wooded valleys and narrow-lane access shaping the brief, with a building stock that leans toward boat sheds and detached houses.
Egloshayle sits in North Cornwall — covering PL27 from Wadebridge, St Issey, Chapel Amble outward.
- Conservation Area
- ✓ Conservation Area experience built into the fee
- ✓ 30+ years of Cornwall Council approvals
- ✓ Local to North Cornwall — not a national franchise
- ✓ Same team on paper as on site
Local proof — Our North Cornwall workload means a Egloshayle building regulations package project never has to wait for an out-of-county team to drive down.

Why Egloshayle is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on Egloshayle is consistent: creekside ecology, flood risk, trees and views across the water often matter as much as the building form itself. For building regulations package specifically, parts of Egloshayle sit within a designated Conservation Area, which means materials, fenestration and roof pitches all need to read sympathetically with the existing streetscape. That's why we treat every Egloshayle project as a PL27-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The boat sheds that dominate Egloshayle (and continue out toward Chapel Amble) set the tone for any building regulations package scheme here.
Planning note
Building regulations are a separate consent track from planning. Drawing them properly upfront is the cheapest insurance you'll buy on the project.
What we focus on
Building Regs considerations specific to Egloshayle.
01
Coastal sites need explicit material and fixings choices in the spec — stainless or non-ferrous fixings, salt-resistant cladding and breathable build-ups.
02
Cornish exposure ratings are among the worst in the country; wind-driven rain detailing matters more here than in most of the UK.
03
Part L and the Future Homes Standard route now drives a meaningful share of the build cost; getting the U-values and air-tightness strategy right at design stage saves money on site.
04
Granite walls, traditional cob, slate-hung elevations and rubble construction all need different building regs detailing than standard masonry.
Our process
How a Egloshayle building regulations package project runs.
Step 1
Design freeze
We confirm the planning-approved scheme as the basis for technical design.
Step 2
Structural coordination
Engineer's input on foundations, beams, lintels and steelwork is integrated into the drawings.
Step 3
Detailing
Construction details drawn at 1:10 for every junction that matters.
Step 4
Specification
Materials, U-values, finishes and workmanship written up so the builder can price accurately.
Step 5
Submission
Full Plans submission to building control with fee handling and query response through to completion certificate.
Most regs packages take three to six weeks once planning is approved, depending on structural complexity and engineer turnaround.
Local fabric

Egloshayle Building Regs — local questions answered.
- Do I really need building regs drawings if I have planning?
- Yes — they cover completely different things. Planning controls how the building looks and where it sits; building regs control how it's actually built and whether it complies with current safety, energy and accessibility law. In Egloshayle specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary before committing to a direction.
- Do you coordinate with a structural engineer?
- Yes — every project that needs steel, timber or masonry calculations is coordinated in-house with a Cornish structural engineer we work with regularly.
- Building Notice or Full Plans?
- Full Plans gives you a formal approval before work starts and a clean paper trail for resale. Building Notice is faster and cheaper up front but less protective. We default to Full Plans for anything other than very simple work.
- Can the builder work without building regs drawings?
- They can — and many do — but the cost gets recovered later in variations, mistakes and slower building control sign-off. A proper regs pack typically pays for itself several times over on anything beyond the smallest job.
- Who do you submit to in Cornwall?
- Either Cornwall Council building control or one of the Approved Inspectors active in the county. We're happy to recommend, but the choice is yours.
